I think this hotel property has been renewed cuz the sleep room is brighter and better furnished. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful. I ended up checked in a room with 2 twin beds, which means the room is bigger. Will go back when I visit Kyoto again.

The rooms and especially the bathrooms are very small and tight, even for two people. However the location made it worth it, it was so easy to travel to/from, whether it be walking, subway or bus! We loved the closeness to everything. It was connected to a Starbucks and had 7-11 right there too, easy for grab and go items before beginning our days.

Location was excellent as it was very close to the subway. Starbucks was located beside the hotel - definitely a bonus. This is an older hotel so rooms are a bit dated, however, they are spacious compared to other Japanese hotels.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel has a lovely location. The room is small, as expected. It was very dark, and the carpet was old. The bathroom is the smallest I have seen, even in Japan. The one thing that really bothered me is the noise. I was staying on the 7th floor, and it seemed people - a lot of people- were having a night party outside the rooms. It went on for a very long time making it impossible to sleep. I called the front desk, they said they would addressed it, but they didn’t. Even with earplugs all of that screaming and yelling could not be canceled. I won’t be stay there again
